The choice, in short

Why choose Mandarin Oriental New York

For a visit together, the Celadon Spa Suite gives a couple 650 square feet of private treatment space.

Water and steam

When to look elsewhere

Swimming calls for a stay or residency: the lap pool and fitness centre are reserved for hotel guests and residents.

Time Rituals lets the therapist build the treatment around your needs. You reserve 1 hour 50 minutes or 2 hours 50 minutes.²

The Clearing Factor has a set sequence: exfoliation and a wrap, lymphatic drainage massage, cupping, moisturiser and juice.²
